“U20 is a unique concept which focuses on urban development. This cycle will become a platform for leaders from across the world for discussions and collective action,” the chief minister said.
Along with C40 (Climate 40) and United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG), Ahmedabad will organise various events, including City Sherpas’ inception meeting, on February 9 and 10, 2023, the release said. The U20 Mayors’ Summit will be held in July 2023, it said.
Urban-20 (U20), one of the Engagement Groups of G20, provides a platform for cities from G20 countries to facilitate discussions on various important issues of urban development, including climate change, social inclusion, sustainable mobility, and affordable housing, and propose collective solutions.
This city diplomacy initiative facilitates a productive dialogue between the national and local governments and helps promote the importance of urban development issues in the G20 agenda, the release said.
